depth

(HS) Senior Project was a very interesting endeavor these past few months. We were given near-total freedom in what we could do, as long as we worked at least twenty-five hours and completed all paperwork for the class. Initially, I drafted up parts of an overly ambitious project -- though nowhere near as extensive as the awesome epics dotting the RM community -- complete with a simple plot, having the potential to expand if necessary; three main characters, mostly diverse among one another and all having some unique mechanic; a setting drawn up from scratch; and zero resource plagiarism. Following a decision to scrap that project due to terrible planning and stupidly ambitious goals for my lack of experience, that got scrapped. Though for the sake of the class, I racked up well over twenty hours on music creation alone, I still wanted something somewhat playable before term's end.

Depth isn't quite 'deep:' You play as a green blob, collecting less-blob-like things to grow while avoiding nasty black obstacles. Collecting the not-black-or-grey things grants you points and makes you larger, and getting hit by black causes you to lose some points, health and size. If you fall below a certain size, the highscore menu pops up and it restarts from there.

Done in GM 8.1 with 100% GML and original resources.
